High up on kids wish lists this season are Hatchimals, which are the creatures that lives inside an egg. The more a child plays with it, the quicker it hatches. Then you can raise the furry animal through three stages, starting out as a baby.

"It's a step down from a pet, but a step down from a toy I guess,” Steph Daniel, of West Hartford, said. “You can raise it, but you don't have to be too responsible for it."

Price tag for Hatchimals is just under $50 and it's only sold at Toys R Us, Target, Kmart and Walmart.

Parents told Eyewitness News they were going to great lengths to get their hands on one in time for the holidays. Some parents have lined up outside the West Hartford Toys R Us when new shipments come in.

Spinmaster, who is the company that created the toy, said it didn't anticipate its popularity.

"The consumer response to Hatchimals has been extraordinary...Some of our first shipments have already sold out. While additional product will hit retail shelves in November, we anticipate this inventory will also sell out quickly,” Spinmaster said in a statement to Eyewitness News.

If you can't get your hands on Hatchimals, Toys R Us has some other options.

"Obviously Snuggle the puppy, very interactive, comes in a brown, comes in a white. PJ masks headquarters which I mentioned before,” Litin said. “We have things like Shopkins, the new series's and all the Shopkins are very popular."

The best bet to find the Hatchimals is to call your local stores to see when new shipments will be coming in.

If you need one right away and money is no object, check out Amazon or eBay. Prices start at about $220.

THE FINAL DAY OF SPRING… Some overnight cloud cover prevented temperatures this morning from going as cold as they could have, if the sky would’ve been clear. Now that they’re eroding, the rest of the day will be mostly sunny. After starting out in the 20s and low 30s, temperatures will peak in the upper 30s and lower 40s this afternoon – well below the average high of 49!

Monday will be bright and chilly. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30s in inland sections and lower 40s along the shore. A cell of high pressure will move overhead, and then to the east of the region today and will be the dominating factor in the weather, thus promising the quieter spell.
